Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions. Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand their business. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking. The Company’s management examines current and occasionally projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. However, the cash flows of borrowers may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner With respect to loans to developers and builders that are secured by non-owner pre-committed on-site The Company originates consumer loans utilizing a judgmental underwriting process. Policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed, jointly by line and staff personnel to monitor and manage consumer loan risk. This activity, coupled with relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk. The Company maintains an independent loan review department that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures. Concentrations of Credit Nearly all of the Company’s lending activity occurs within the State of Ohio, including the four counties of Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas, and Wayne, as well as other markets. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no concentrations of loans to any single industry. Allowance for Loan Losses The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories. During 2016, the largest increase in the provision for loan losses occurred in the commercial loan category. The increase was primarily due to the specific allocation related to one loan relationship along with charge-offs of loans in this category. The increase in the provision amounts allocated to the remaining loan categories, primarily relate to loan growth. The decrease in the provision amount allocated to the commercial real estate category is primarily due to the recovery of prior loan charge-offs. During 2015, the increase in the provision for loan losses related to commercial loans was primarily due to an increase in the specific allowance related to impaired loans in this category. The decrease in the provision related to commercial real estate loans was due to the improved credit quality of loans in this category. The increase in the provision related to residential real estate loans was due to the increase in net charge-offs of loans in this category as well as the increase in loan volume. During 2014, the increase in the provision for loan losses related to commercial loans was primarily due to the increase in the historical loss rate of loans in this category. The increase in the provision related to commercial real estate loans was affected by an increase in loan balances, offset by a decrease in impaired loans. The decrease in the provision related to residential real estate loans was affected by the decrease in the specific allocation amounts related to impaired residential real estate loans, as well as a decrease in the historical loss rates of the loans in this category. The decrease in the provision related to construction and consumer loans was due to the decrease in the historical loss rates in both of these categories.

Credit Quality Indicators The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes commercial loans with an outstanding balance greater than $300 thousand. This analysis is performed on an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Pass. Special Mention. Substandard. Doubtful. Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are either less than $300 thousand or are included in groups of homogeneous loans. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class was as follows at December 31: (Dollars in thousands) Pass Special Substandard Doubtful Not Rated Total 2016 Commercial $ 116,739 $ 6,874 $ 9,704 $ – $ 951 $ 134,268 Commercial real estate 149,630 4,168 4,766 – 911 159,475 Residential real estate 216 – 175 – 144,098 144,489 Construction & land development 17,183 981 504 – 4,760 23,428 Consumer – – – – 13,308 13,308 Total $ 283,768 $ 12,023 $ 15,149 $ – $ 164,028 $ 474,968 2015 Commercial $ 112,229 $ 3,100 $ 7,044 $ – $ 770 $ 123,143 Commercial real estate 141,621 2,742 3,150 – 1,262 148,775 Residential real estate 190 – 213 – 125,372 125,775 Construction & land development 11,015 944 – – 3,493 15,452 Consumer – – – – 9,268 9,268 Total $ 265,055 $ 6,786 $ 10,407 $ – $ 140,165 $ 422,413 Nonperforming loans include loans past due 90 days and greater and loans on nonaccrual of interest status.
